Douluo Dalu: Immortal Dragon Clan

Chapter 141 Jin Tianming's Arrogance!

Sun and Moon Royal Academy
Today, Lei Ze was in a bad mood. Jin Tianming, far away at the Sun Moon Royal Academy, also had a gloomy face. Looking at the lab table that had been ransacked, he was filled with anger. He had only refused the Sun Moon Emperor's invitation, but the emperor had sent a group of people to keep an eye on him around the clock. They even broke into his room to search for his soul tool armor!
If it weren't for the fact that they had a Title Douluo backing them up, they might have done even more outrageous things.

Now, they dare not enter their own rooms, yet they have left the lab table in this state. What are they trying to do?
The story begins a few days ago.

That morning, Jin Tianming went to the palace early to meet Emperor Riyue.

At that time, the Sun and Moon Emperor was in the reception room, warmly waiting for him. As soon as Jin Tianming stepped into the room, he noticed countless gazes focused on him. With his powerful mental strength, he sensed that these gazes contained fanaticism, fear, and even greed.

But he chose to ignore it and did not perform the royal ceremony. Instead, he sat directly opposite the Sun and Moon Emperor and explained, "My elders in the family say that I was born arrogant and am a king by nature. I do not need to pay homage to any emperor. Sun and Moon Emperor, you do not have any objection, do you?"

Jin Tianming has always disdained bowing. Mo Yan is lazy, but he is arrogant to the core. Apart from his true form, no one can be above him. That's who he is!

Upon hearing this, the prying gazes instantly filled with murderous intent, locking onto Jin Tianming like venomous snakes.

If the Sun and Moon Emperor hadn't not given the order, they probably would have rushed out and killed him long ago.

However, Jin Tianming was not afraid of this at all, because he knew that at this stage, the Sun and Moon Emperor would never push him, his lifeline, to the enemy camp.

"Hahahaha." Upon hearing Jin Tianming's explanation, the Sun and Moon Emperor was not angry at all. Instead, he burst into laughter: "Indeed, heroes emerge from among the young!"

"I admire your character, but you must understand that only those who grow up to be geniuses can be considered true geniuses, Jin Tianming!" After laughing, the Sun and Moon Emperor adopted a lecturing posture towards a junior and warned him.

Jin Tianming just smiled and didn't respond; in his opinion, the topic was meaningless.

Seeing that Jin Tianming did not respond, a hint of displeasure flashed in the Sun and Moon Emperor's eyes. He had seen many geniuses, but none of them bowed down to him. The arrogance of this young man greatly displeased him, but when he thought of the hidden family behind Jin Tianming, he suppressed his dissatisfaction and anger, and slowly said:

"Jin Tianming, as a reserve member of the Sun and Moon team, although you did not win the final victory, you led the team to preserve its reputation. What reward do you want?"

Jin Tianming replied without any politeness: "Some high-grade metal materials!"

He has no shortage of soul bones. As his level increases, the bones in his body are constantly transforming into dragon bones. Absorbing soul bones can accelerate this process. Take the dark gold palm bone, for example, it is almost complete in its transformation.

But he was not in a hurry, knowing that everything must be done step by step.

Upon hearing this, the Sun and Moon Emperor grew increasingly dissatisfied. This young man only wanted some metal materials, not soul bones. How was he supposed to bring up the important topic he was about to discuss?
"Jin Tianming, is this all you want?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I hope you will grant my request!"

Jin Tianming naturally noticed the dissatisfaction in the Sun and Moon Emperor's eyes. This time, he chose to play dumb. What was the Sun and Moon Emperor's purpose in inviting him? Was it really to reward him? Impossible! His real purpose was to take a liking to his soul tool armor.

But they hadn't even used that thing themselves yet, so what were the Sun and Moon Emperor and the Sun and Moon Empire compared to them? Did they even deserve to be ranked ahead of them? Seeing this, the Sun and Moon Emperor knew he couldn't beat around the bush any longer. If he didn't get straight to the point, they might not be able to get to the heart of the matter even by tomorrow: "Jin Tianming, the soul tool armor you developed has greatly interested me and the soul masters behind me. Could you offer the research results to the Sun and Moon Empire?"

Before Jin Tianming could answer, the Sun and Moon Emperor quickly added, "As long as you're willing to give it up, I will absolutely not treat you unfairly. You can choose any soul bone from the Sun and Moon Empire's treasury!"

One piece? Jin Tianming almost burst out laughing when he heard this. Although his research results were only half-finished, they had still taken a lot of time. Did the emperor really think he could exchange them for a soul bone? This emperor was being far too unrealistic!
"Your Majesty, do you think I would lack that little bit of soul bone? Or do you see me as someone who makes selfless sacrifices?"

"Jin Tianming, as a member of the Sun Moon Royal Academy, you have made such a contribution, and you should benefit the people of the empire and the continent. In the future, your name will surely be remembered by future generations!" Faced with Jin Tianming's refusal, the Sun Moon Emperor remained calm and uttered these words.

He thought that people like Jin Tianming were not lacking in resources and might care a lot about their reputation. However, he completely underestimated Jin Tianming.

A cold smile appeared on Jin Tianming's face. He stood up and said nonchalantly, "I don't care about those empty titles at all. Why don't you send your people out to intercept and kill me, and see who dies first?"

After saying that, Jin Tianming got up and left without hesitation. No one could threaten him, and no one could force him!

Otherwise, even if it means mutual destruction, he'll drag a bunch of people down with him! Even if he dies, he wants to die with meaning!
"Your Majesty, why don't we go out now and kill this arrogant brat?" A eunuch appeared beside the Emperor and respectfully suggested.

"No!" Emperor Sun and Moon hurriedly waved his hand. "A young man with such a powerful background certainly has the right to be arrogant. The more arrogant he is, the more it highlights the wealth and influence of his family!"

"Your Majesty, what should we do next?" the eunuch asked curiously.

After hearing this, the Sun and Moon Emperor remained silent for a moment and then ordered, "Send someone to keep an eye on things and test them one more time!"

"Yes."

"Heh. So you like testing people that much?" Jin Tianming's gaze was cold and arrogant as he stared intently at the messy lab table. He then directed a dark corner with murderous intent and commanded, "Since this emperor likes to test people, then send all those people's heads back to him so he knows my bottom line."

He was plotting how to use the oranges to gain a share of the spoils in the battle for the crown prince.

Today, let's use these people as an example to warn the emperor and prince that if they want to win him over, they should first consider whether they have the power to do so.

Otherwise, don't try to test them; it will only waste their fighting strength!
"Yes!" Mo Xie responded, his figure quickly blending into the darkness, and the hunting operation began.

Jin Tianming tidied up the lab table, constantly reminding himself not to rush. There was still Tang Gou in the sky. If he suddenly descended, his and his main body's plan would completely collapse!

"Just you wait, Sun and Moon Emperor. The day you die, I'll have people dig up your grave and then have my true form refine you into a dragon slave without any human rights, to fight your sons in a life-or-death arena!"

　I've been having some writer's block lately. I was planning to start Huo Yuhao's main storyline after chapter 160, but my brain is a bit overloaded right now. Let me sort out my thoughts. I'm really grateful for the gifts and votes from all the handsome guys and beautiful girls.
